ABOUT ARCHIVES PRINT SHOP

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

STORY

Vida Blue's first season in Kansas City in 1982 went pretty well as the lefty was 13-12 with a 3.76 ERA in 31 starts. His 37th and final career shutout came Sept. 13 against Seattle at Royals Stadium, a complete-game one hitter. Blue also allowed career homer No. 200 that year, coming June 16 against Minnesota's Tom Brunansky.
